About This Item

Printed for presentation to the Roxburghe Club, [London], first edition, 2002. Limited edition of 300 copies. 2 vols, two-tone cloth, 4to and oblong 4to, 23 cm, slipcased,. 245, [2] pp, ills, 104 facsimile plates. From the foreword: "Robert Naunton was an important, if not major figure of his time, ideally placed to observe the intricacies of court and government. Fragmenta Regalia is the sum of those observations, and, like Machiavelli's The Prince, it originally circulated in manuscript; was first (and very imperfectly) printed in 1641; and has remained in print almost continuously ever since. This is not so much an indication of literary merit as a reflection of the value of his analysis of the role of the political elite in Tudor and Stuart England. With the recent discovery of the present manuscript containing significant previously unknown additions to the text, the opportunity arose to provide a definitive edition. ". The first volume in this set provides a transcript of the manuscript together with an introduction and a biographical dictionary of those involved; the second volume provides a facsimile of the manuscript Naunton presented to Charles I. Fine in slipcase. Former owner's name printed in red in the list of Members.
